Frequently Asked Questions
A list of questions Accu Speed frequently answers.
Q: [Do you schedule any evening and/or weekend
appointments?]
A: [Yes. Just let us know if your schedule would require an evening
or weekend appointment. We will do our best to accommodate your
needs.]
Q: [What is the process for your résumé
writing service?]
A: [First, we would talk about what type of position you are
targeting and how many years of experience you have. From there we
would agree on a price/package and Accu Speed will send you
worksheets in order to get all the necessary data for your
professional resume. Next we would set up a convenient time for
either a phone or personal consultation in our office. Between 2 and
4 business days later you will have a first draft to review. We will
go over any changes and get to the final draft. Accu Speed will
present you (or mail to you) the laser printouts, disk and other
pertinent information for your job search.]
